Kareena declines to watch Angelina's "Gia" & Baby Agent Vinod

It came as no surprise that Madhur Bhandarkar wanted Kareena Kapoor to prepare for her role in his ambitious project Heroine. And one of the ideas he had in mind included studying Angelina Jolie’s outing in the award-winning TV film, Gia (1998).

Agent Vinod to clash with TezzHowever, Kareena wasn’t too keen. “He wanted Kareena to watch Gia because of Angelina’s performance. Although Bebo understands the character, the idea was to help her get a tighter grip on the intricacies. But she wanted to keep things natural,” says an insider.

Kareena confirms: “Yes, Madhur said, ‘watch Gia and look at Jolie’s performance.’ But I told him to let me get into Heroine completely blank; I asked him to guide me. I don’t want to take on performances of other actors. I want to play the role like I essay other parts in a natural way. I don’t want to prepare for it.”

Gia tells the story of a rebellious teenager, who becomes a successful model. But failed relationships, drugs and emotional instability, bring her career and life to an end. Heroine, on the other hand, is based on the life of a superstar actress. And how she lives through the politics, fame and lonely depths of failure.

A few days ago, Kareena wrapped up the first schedule of Heroine. It also stars Arjun Rampal and Randeep Hooda.

“They enter my character’s life in different phases. Arjun is a great friend and I am very fond of him. Plus, we’ve worked together in We Are Family (2010). Though I’ve never worked with Randeep, I’ve heard he is a fantastic actor,” says Kareena.

"Agent Vinod is our baby" - Kareena

Unbelievable as it may sound but Saif Ali Khan's dream project AGENT VINOD has been delayed all over again after being pushed ahead from February to March. While the constant flip-flop around the release plan is hardly the kind of situation either Saif or Kareena would have wanted to be in, there is also some heartburn reserved for Ajay Devgn since the film is now clashing with his TEZZ heads-on.

'

'I don't remember when was the last time a big film saw a change in plan so often,' says a trade follower, 'AGENT VINOD was earlier supposed to arrive in the middle of this year. Then it got pushed to December. Post that it was pitched around the Valentine's Day in February and now it is March. I hope this time around it is final.''

Incidentally TEZZ has been threatened by AGENT VINOD in as many as two instances, first in December and now in March. The Ajay Devgn starrer too has faced its own challenges in reaching the finishing line (a song along with a 10 day shoot still remains for the film) and while the makers had earlier announced that 23rd March was going be the D-day by all means, arrival of AGENT VINOD on the same day may well lead to some rethinking on their part.

While Ajay has kept mum around the release of TEZZ so far, Kareena is gung ho about AGENT VINOD and feels that not much needs to be read in the 'slight delay' that the film is seeing. She says, ''Saif and (director) Sriram Raghavan have worked together in EK HASINA THI and share an amazing working relationship. They understand each other's world and this is what's going to make AGENT VINOD really special for them. The film is taking some time but that's because it is our baby and we want the best product for the audience.''

Well, the million dollar question is whether this would be enough to change Ajay's heart?
